I'm No Angel Myself

(album: One Way Out - 2021)

Friend I see you're drinking your refrain
Someone's got you twisted up
And you're trying to drown your pain
You don't mind so much the money
Or the way they shake their heads
But what's really set you aching
Is the lie that made your bed
What was that you said?

I'm no angel myself
Well I've broke some hearts
And I've played some cards that I'd just as soon forget
I'm no angel myself
Well I've built some dreams and in-between
I canceled all my bets
Who said only angels could fly
Who said only angels could cry
Why, I'm no angel myself

Look at you my friend what is so wrong
You got the gift the charming lips
And the way you sing your songs
Well it still sends me shaking
When I recall that day
The one I love was taken so
And had to have your way
What else could I say?

I'm no angel myself
Well I've broke some hearts
And I've played some cards that I'd just as soon forget
I'm no angel myself
Well I've built some dreams and in-between
I canceled all my bets
Who said only angels could fly
Who said only angels could cry
Why, I'm no angel myself

Here's to you my friend and here's to me
Here's to what we hold inside
And here's to what they see
Through the years the love we make
Is the blood inside our veins
We broke the laws and begged and crawled
And we'd do it all again
Wouldn't we my friend?

I'm no angel myself
Well I've broke some hearts
And I've played some cards that I'd just as soon forget
I'm no angel myself
Well I've built some dreams and in-between
I canceled all my bets
Who said only angels could fly
Who said only angels could cry
Why, I'm no angel myself
